NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Part 52


Standard Design Certification for the U.S. Advance Boiling Water 
Reactor and the System 80+ Standard Designs; Meeting

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will conduct a meeting 
on May 11, 1995, to discuss proposed design certification rules (DCRs) 
for the U.S. Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) and System 80+ 
Standard Designs. The applicant for certification of the U.S. ABWR 
design is GE Nuclear Energy and the applicant for certification of the 
System 80+ design is Combustion Engineering, Inc. The purpose of the 
public meeting is to discuss the meaning and intent of the proposed 
DCRs, in order to facilitate written comments.

DATES: The meeting will be held on Thursday, May 11, 1995.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the NRC Auditorium. The NRC 
Auditorium is located on an underground level between the One White 
Flint North Building and the Two White Flint North Building at 11545 
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The NRC buildings are 
located across the street from the White Flint Metro Station. The 
entrance to the auditorium is located underneath the glass pyramid, 
near the Two White Flint North Building.
    The proposed DCRs, the design control documents that are 
incorporated by reference into the DCRs, and the environmental 
assessments for each design are available for examination and copying 
at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW. (Lower Level), 
Washington, DC, between the hours of 7:45 a.m. and 5:15 p.m. on Federal 
workdays.

respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC's regulations in subpart B to 10 CFR 
part 52 provide the requirements applicable to issuing a design 
certification for a standard nuclear power plant design. The NRC has 
issued two proposed DCRs pursuant to Subpart B in this issue of the 
Federal Register. These rules will be added as separate appendices to 
10 CFR part 52. The NRC is seeking public participation in the 
development of [[Page 17948]] these DCRs and the supporting documents 
identified below. In order to explain the proposed approach and to 
facilitate written comments on the DCRs, the NRC is holding a public 
meeting on this topic. The NRC will also answer questions on the 
process for requesting an informal hearing on the DCRs. The meeting 
will begin at 9 a.m. and end after all questions and comments have been 
accommodated.
